Veteran NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick earned his 50th career win Sunday under unprecedented circumstances.
The Real Heroes 400 at Darlington Raceway was held without fans, but that didn’t stop from Harvick excelling on the track and celebrating his accomplishment.

Harvick noted his 50th career checkered flag “didn’t seem real” during FOX Sports’ broadcast upon conclusion of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series event. And while he admitted “it is weird just because there’s nobody up there (in the stands),” the driver of the No. 4 car added that he was both excited and “speechless.”
“I wanna thank everyone from NASCAR and FOX,” Harvick told FOX. “I didn’t think it was going to be that much different, but we win the race and its dead silent… We miss the fans.”
NASCAR will return to Darlington for another race Wednesday prior to the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway next Sunday.
